  1. Re:Trademarks and commerce... on Trademarks For Open Source Projects? · · Score: 3

    First of all, get the Nolo Press book on trademarks. It will answer most of your questions plus a bunch you haven't thought of yet. You can get your own trademark, but if you have a pro do it, it'll cost about $1k. You do not have to sell your product to get a trademark. Sending a CD bearing the mark to someone across the country should pass for commerce.

  2. Re:Fucking Jobs - Fucking stupid slashdot article on Jobs Plays It Frank · · Score: 2

    Give me a break. No substantial meat in the article and I could care less if Steve Jobs says fuck. Slashdot editors should get off their asses and post better articles.

  3. 4 Separate Issuses on What Is A Fair Privacy Policy? · · Score: 2

    I went back and looked at our handbook and there are 4 separate privacy issues we addressed when we wrote it. 1) Confidentiality of employee records, background checks, and medical history. 2) Email policy 3) Drug testing and alcohol use 4) Somewhat unrelated, but still applicable is the company non-disclosure policy. Send me an email at mailto:owlmeat@hotmail.com and I'll send some of the stuff to you.

  4. What about the tax writeoff issue? on It's Official: MS Office 10 Subscription Version · · Score: 1

    Busnesses usually have to depreciate their software over a 3 year period. If you are buying software that only lasts a year, you can write it down 100% that year. Clearly the gov gets screwed on the deal, and it could be a benefit to companies in the 38% bracket.

  5. An easy fix on Has Netscape's Browser Become Too Self-Serving? · · Score: 1

    Just put an entry for messenger.netscape.com in your hosts or localhosts file pointing to your local web server. Put up a blank page everytime netscape hits it.

  7. Aaah, the Use Tax on The Inevitable Internet Sales Tax? · · Score: 1

    This is nothing new in California. A business has to pay sales tax on all tangible items regardless of where they are purchased. This is the number one moneymaker for the auditors and explains why they collect an average of $4000 per hour of audit time. This really doesn't have anything to do with the internet.

  8. There's an easy fix for me on Copyrant · · Score: 1
